Japan hasn't been hit this hard since Godzilla!

Hi all - I've landed in Japan with my friend Billy and we've had a full day. Shrines, shopping subways and lots of walking. It's a bit disconcerting when all the signs and ATMs were in Japanese characters but we've finally found our footing. Of course, it's almost time for us to leave for Thailand (tomorrow) so our newfound skills don't really help all that much. Tokyo is a very cool place and their subway system is great. It's too bad Seattle sucks in that arena.

Billy and I are at the Asakusa Temple above. We ran into these two other foreigners and asked one of them to take this picture. It made my day when one of them said "Go Huskies". More to follow...
